City dwellers have to put up with crowded commuter trains, heaving streets and air pollution from heavy traffic. No wonder every so often they need to escape to the great outdoors to get some fresh air and some peace and quiet. The UK has some breathtaking scenery. There’s the Lake District, the Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia and North West Scotland for starters. To enjoy these kind of places properly it’s best to get kitted out with all the right outdoor gear before venturing up mountain trails. A good quality pair of walking boots are a must for anyone keen to explore…
When people get married they look forward to setting up home together and equipping it with all the practical things they need to enjoy married life. Wedding lists have become widely accepted as a standard practice these days. Friends and family like to wish the couple well and as a token of their love and friendship buy them a special gift for the big day. Wedding gifts need to be practical, but a little bit special too. Something to treasure as well as use. When it comes to homeware some brands really stand out. They have a reputation for high…
Shoppers are bombarded constantly with marketing messages from all angles each and everyday. It’s relentless. This process starts at home even before they begin their journey to the shops and carries on all the way to the cash register. With so many different channels and so much competition, companies need to be smart about how they market to customers. Retail display matters more than ever. Shoppers increasingly make impulsive decisions in store, rather than set out with preconceived ideas about what to buy. Effective point of sale display can help influence the shopper and draw them to one particular product…
Construction industry professionals are largely well aware that their HR payroll representatives have a little more to contend with than those in non industry related sectors. Compliance with CIS tax on behalf of their own direct employees and their sub contractors is a legal obligation. Furthermore, tax returns have to be submitted monthly rather than annually. This can result in the panic that sometimes blights many of their equivalents just once a year being practically an ongoing way of life in the HR payroll offices of construction businesses. It is a sad fact, yet common knowledge, that the construction industry…
IGF1 is a member of the somatomedin, or insulin-like growth factor family. We at Novus Biologicals have an extensive range of IGF1 antibodies on our antibody database. An essential mediator of growth hormone function, IGF1is also linked to many types of cancer. The association between raised IGF1 levels and increased risk of cancer has been well documented. Although IGF1production is at its highest in puberty, acting as an important mediator between growth hormone and childhood development, IGF-1 is continually expressed throughout adult life. IGF-1 antibody studies have shown the protein binds to both the insulin receptor and the IGF-1 receptor…
While some people simply opt for the closest card available in order to take away the stress of planning for a person’s big day, there is much to be said for a card which has been carefully selected. When someone rushes buying a greeting card, such as birthday cards, the recipient can usually tell, as the tone of the card doesn’t reflect their personality, sense of humour or the sentiment they were expecting. Therefore, it is essential that the card-giver chooses a card carefully to put a smile on the recipient’s face; otherwise, what was the point of the paper…
Most people don’t give too much thought to where the fuel they put in their car comes from. They just fill up, grumble at the price and carry on about their day. Oil exploration and pumping it out of the ground is a tough and dangerous business. Especially oil that comes from the sea. Off our own shore out in the North Sea oil fields workers brave tough and potentially dangerous working conditions to exploit the oil that is under the sea bed. Out here hazards lurk around every corner. There are all kinds of safety hazards that workers face…

For any retail or commercial space, providing customers or employees with the right level of services can often be difficult. If they need to move from one place to another, they might not be able to properly do this as the stairs in a building could be far away and have many steps. This therefore increases the amount of time which is being spent on travelling and could be devoted to completing other tasks. By a building only having stairs also means that if employees want to move bulky stock, they will require extra help such as lifts. If this…
Kitchens can come in all different shapes, sizes and be within a wide spectrum of practicality and potential. Many people may find that their kitchen is not suitable for the exact tasks they usually carry out, but may not realise how easy it is to alter any kitchen to make it fit for purpose. Whilst the most common approach to choosing kitchens will be to choose a ready-made suite and simply have it fitted, from the cabinet doors to the hob, everything can easily be modified separately to ensure you can create the most practical kitchen possible without losing sight…
